# Is Yasir Qadhi giving the whole picture on the Maliki scholars and Jesus's return? *Tag team: Qadhi's own Gog and Magog talk, half truths, and a man chasing pigs* - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/b1ooltqtptw/s/22/ - Date: 2021-03-02 · Kind: lesson · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Monday Nights with Mufti #204 | Q&A Unscripted & Unrestricted! 😉 | Mufti Abu Layth (1:42:06–1:46:36) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1OOltqtPTw&t=6126s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/b1ooltqtptw/ **Topics:** Exchanges with Yasir Qadhi; Dajjal, Mahdi and the signs; The second coming of Jesus **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Using Qadhi's own talk on Gog and Magog, Mufti Abu Layth says Qadhi tells half truths, citing the Maliki authorities without their view that the hadith on Jesus are not conclusively established. ## Longer summary Mufti Abu Layth says that to help him reply he will bring in a tag-team partner, none other than Yasir Qadhi himself, and plays Qadhi's earlier talk on Gog and Magog, in which Qadhi says this is perhaps the most problematic sign of the Day of Judgement for modern times, that it has caused youth to doubt and that he has met people who left Islam over such tales, and that he will be honest and frank. Mufti notes that Gog and Magog and the return of Jesus are both signs of the Hour, and says that what he will show are half truths: Qadhi is not lying, but he quotes the Maliki dons, such as Ibn Abd al-Barr, accepting the return without quoting their statement that the hadith on Jesus are not conclusively established. When Qadhi says one reason people leave Islam is that their problems are not addressed, Mufti says that a man coming down from the sky in front of everyone, only to chase and kill the pigs on the globe, is a very reasonable thing to question and in many ways disrespectful to Jesus and to God. ## Sources and names cited - Yasir Qadhi - Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) - Ibn Abd al-Barr - Maliki school - Isa (Jesus) ## Transcript (machine tier, 1:42:06–1:46:36) [1:42:05] who can i who can i bring on board to assist me with a reply to tag man tag man tag team man none other than the below it yasir khadi himself let's bring yasir khali onboard you see himself himself man himself man some [1:42:48] so let me just see this i'm just trying to where i put this man where i put this clip man the issue of this is it so yeah himself take a look at some of his own very recent responses and some you can contrast them when he wishes to disagree with something so the very famous reply let's take a look at that briefly okay so the issue of is actually for our modern times i would say one of the most if not the most [1:43:27] problematic of the signs of judgment day and it has caused many of our youth to question to doubt i myself have met people that have actually left islam now note that ya juju matjuja and the jesus thing are all to do with the signs of the hour but here yaser khadi discussing this topic because of these types of tales and we have to be honest and frank and not pretend as if this doesn't exist perhaps some of you are not accustomed to hearing people speak like this but [1:44:04] my philosophy is different perhaps some of you are not accustomed but uh johnny our beloved speaks the truth truth the okay the whole truth and this is going to what i'm going to show later on as well are the half truths see what shaykh does is i'm not saying he's not when he's quoting thing he's he's he's he's lying but he does a lot of half truth he doesn't do full disclosure of what he's about to say he'll say the part [1:44:43] that shows that but won't give the elaborate like so as an example when he's saying maliki dones the maliki dawns he doesn't highlight that the maliki dawns like ibn abdul baar like all the yard like these people said that all the hadith to do with jesus they're not conclusively established he doesn't quote that part he just quotes the part they them saying okay we believe in it so not the heart truth you know the heart rules so we are dealing with a crisis of people leaving our faith our own children [1:45:21] our own young men and women and of the reasons why is that we are not answering some of these issues that they bring and we dismiss them the midrash so here ya has shown that one of the biggest issues why people are leaving islam is because we're not tackling the problems they're having like a problem like for example saying well a man coming down from the sky what kind of and everybody's witnessing that what kind of i mean is this is this something that would happen i mean that that's a very reasonable question mean just you know and this man coming [1:45:59] down being like so wow and then what he does is runs around chases pigs and just wants to kill all the pigs on the globe i mean has it you know hasn't jesus got a better thing to do i mean you know he's here you know wow god's gonna break the laws of nature send down a man two thousand years later and the man just chases around pigs trying to kill them i mean that that is that not in many ways disrespectful to the prophet jesus and to god to state that but still let's let's pay attention ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment b1OOltqtPTw/s/22. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/b1ooltqtptw/s/22/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
